The only correct answer is>Mosquito>Cockroach>JellyfishOther species would have no problem looking for something else to eat. Jellyfish are fucking up the ocean, albeit because of overfishing, but still, they gotta go.

I have spent some time reading about the Timothy Treadwell story and how he was eaten alive by a bear and the entire incident was recorded but has only been listened to by a handful of people. Bears scare the shit out of me. If a bear wants to kill you and you don't have a powerful shotgun, you are dead. You cant fight the bear because of how much physically stronger it is, it can crush your head in an instant or kill you with one slash of its claws. You cant even run away because bears are extremely fast on the ground. You have no hope. It freaks me out and makes me scared of going anywhere near where bears live. I am fortunate to live in England where there are no predators so I can roam the countryside freely without fear of being killed by an animal. But I went on a camping expedition in the Pyrenees recently and I was shitting myself the entire time that I might be attacked by a bear. What are your thoughts on bears /an/? I wouldn't care if they all went extinct desu, as bad as that sounds

>>3136867They have to be absolutely fucking starving to try to eat a human. Fighting requires energy and bears save that for territory and fuck fights. I've worked in bear country enough years to know how they behave. I have helped relocate over a dozen bears while working in Alaska and Yellowstone. You are more likely to be killed by a hikers off leash shitbull.

>>3142532It sounds like the guy just wants to be contrarion (while seeming reasonable). T-rex isnt even in my top 5 favourite carnivorous dinos but it's still one giant badass and in my opinion the closest thing to a monster any land animal has ever achieved.The fucker would rekt basically any dino before it and aint no way a pack of lions are taking a t-rex.The thing was close to being the optimal apex status

>>3142698>>3142695>>3142620i want to say i personally believe t-rex is S or A tier, i was going by the logic of the video which put 1 dinosaur in S tier which was just there based on intelligence, and A tier were dinosaurs that (going by the video) did it better then T-rex and could possibly out compete it. I personally put T-rex S or A tier and i see them in a the position of bears before the raise of humans, untouchable tanks that mostly scavenged and stole kills but was also capable of hunting itself. But i don't know if i could say with full confidence that bears were dominate, they're hella good but animals like elephants or crocodiles come off as more successful in a way i can't put my finger quite on.

>>3138210He was referring to theropods in general. We know that smaller, late-cretaceous era theropods like dromeosaurs pretty much universally had feathers, but it seems like more and more we're seeing that large theropods like Tyrannosaurs had very little feather coverage. But both these groups all fall under the coelurosaur umbrella, which pretty much every feathered dinosaur falls under. Dilophosauridae is many stages removed from this group. So I would say Dilophosaurus most likely didn't have any feather coverage.

>>3142623The skin samples at Houston have been stored for 13 years, not 100, and only provide enough data to confirm that T-rex at least wasnt completely covered in feathers (though I at least think scientists trying to push that it must have had feathers only on its dorsal side or something are really just trying to force the issue).We have no Dilophosaurus skin impressions.

what goes on at vet offices?Anonymous09/11/19(Wed)18:10:17No.3139110[Reply]

Hey I wanna know what it's like to work at a vet's office. Anyone who works at one wanna chime in and tell some stories?

Maybe you can help me understand why the office staff is so unhelpful, why vets are not upfront about costs and procedures? Do you really believe in those Chinese herbs and supplements you're selling? What does "I became a vet because I wanted to help animals" really mean when you do not educate or inform the people paying you, or when you recommend against a procedure that can cute an illness but don't give a reason why? Are those "prescription" diets really helping animals? And why do you have those candle lights in the office for euthanasia's if you never use them? Just wanted to know, what the fuck is going in behind the desk there?

Pic infelated, it's just my latest foster kitten. Look at those big eyes, so cute. I hate to think some day some vet is going to lead her future owners to fuck her shit up

>>3141484 I'm talking about a vet who's not affiliated with any clinic. not only they don't usually charge 50$ for a fucking band aid and a simple shot, but they also don't shill for snake oil companies

Could someone maybe id this lizard (I think it's a salamander) i remember from my childhood. I might have a picture somewhere but I'm at work.Colour: orangeSize: small (maybe 10cm length? Maybe more)Location: Jylland, Denmark.It was in an outdoor type summer camp.

>have frog pond in backyard>always see neighbors cats sitting there but they run away when i open the door>today i find a frog missing it's left hind leg>flipped on its back when it jumped and wiggled for five seconds before righting itselfNow I'm pissed. How do I deal with these fucking vermin for fucking with my frogs?

I have a bunch of toads and frogs in my barn and the cats completely ignore them. They even constantly sit around the cat food bowls because there's flies.Maybe the frog's leg got stuck in something and he ripped it off, or it was some other critter passing through? If the cats have been coming around for a while and the frog is missing a leg only now, chances are that it's unrelated to them.
